Hi,

I have a problem when running the FunFacts App. I get this errors in the console:

  • Error:(38) Error parsing XML: no element found
  • Grande Console:

  • What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

    com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

  • Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
